Are things looking up for the Vita?

There were several announcements out of the gaming world that pertained exclusively to the Vita recently. It is enough to make those who doubt the system notice. GoozerNation wants to know when will the price drop now that the smaller and slimmer Vita has been announced, and will the potential greatness of Vita TV be enough to keep the Vita going?

Game-wise it's been solid, but hardware-wise yes with the exception of this October 10th release for the Vita-2000 which is going to get destroyed by the 2DS + Pokemon releasing on October 12th, until PS Vita TV takes over in November, and 2014 around the world.

Hopefully, the VS/VTV will find some success that would convince the Japanese pubs/devs to localize their games because its not really helping that they keep announcing games in Japan and we are not getting it.

Yes, things will "look up" for it but not to the point of actually being competitive anymore; just going to do its own things with mostly ports, indies, PS4 accessory and a psuedo set-top-box/digi-box.
